Instead they fined the New York Liberty $500k because charted travel is against the rules of their CBA. Apparently it was considered a competitive advantage that the other teams were not able to have access to.

What makes this even funnier is the Liberty lost every game that revolved around the usage of the charter planes.

Lol just fold this shitty league already

MLS also has restrictions on chartered flights; leagues at this level like controlling costs.

I read another article on this and it said the owner of the Liberty was down to pay for every team in the league to have a chartered plane for the next couple years. The league said no because the players would come to expect it and they would refuse to go back to non-chartered lol

MLS is a mediocre league too.
It's insane how people watch it when the quality of its football is so bad compared to the EPL.
The Mexican LIGA MX is so far ahead of MLS and it even that is so inferior to Europe.

Can't they just move every WNBA team to one city to save on travel costs?

That actually legit not a bad option.
The WNBA season is like only 2-3 months

They should just get rid of the WNBA. No one watches it, and it hemorrhages money every year and needs the NBA to keep paying it to stay afloat.

This is not true. Nobody would compare it to viewership or attendance numbers for the NBA, but it has a sizable audience of its own. Average attendance is comparable to AAA baseball.
